Taylor Hall got his long-term extension with the Edmonton Oilers earlier this month. Now Jordan Eberle has his own.

The 22-year-old All-Star signed a six-year, $36 million deal with the team on Thursday.

"Obviously me and Taylor want to be a part of this team for a while," Eberle said. "That's why we signed this way. I think it signifies the young core of the group wanted to be here.

"We see the direction the team is going and that's in a forward direction. I think this year is definitely going to be a big year for us as far as developing our name as a team. Our success in the past couple of years hasn't been nearly where we want it to be and next year is going to be a huge stepping stone for us."

Eberle, who led Edmonton with 34 goals, 42 assists and 76 points last season, was the team's first-round pick in 2008. Hall, his roommate and the No. 1 overall pick in 2010, re-upped with the Oilers on Aug. 22 for seven years and $42 million. At the time, he said to expect another deal.

“His (extension) should be pretty soon,” Hall said. “He wants to be here, too, and him and I are following the same path.”

As far as salary is concerned, Hall's right. That said, his upside is greater than Eberle's—Hall has dealt with freak injuries in both of his NHL seasons that have stopped him from hitting the 30-goal mark himself, and Eberle's 18.9 percent shooting percentage last season is certain to drop. Plus, Hall played against tougher competition.

Regardless, Edmonton is attempting to lock up its young core before the next CBA is set in stone. The league hopes to limit contracts to five years in the next agreement. Now, Eberle is be under Edmonton control until he's 28 years old. Hall's deal lasts until he's 27. NHL players, under the current CBA, become unrestricted free agents when they either turn 27 or play seven seasons.

The Oilers have been one of the NHL's worst teams for several years and, as a result, have high-end, promising young forwards like Eberle, Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (No. 1 overall, 2011 draf) and Nail Yakupov (No. 1 overall, 2012) in the fold. They also added highly regarded college defenseman Justin Schultz earlier this summer.
